Re: Debian on CD.
The person who was responsible for fulfilling orders was 'deleted' from my organization about 3 weeks ago. Upon reading these comments today, I went to that person's house and demanded the return of any and all documents, records, product, etc. immediately. This resulted in the return of 2 boxes which included CD mailers which were adressed but never sent, unopened mail (I actually found a check dated 03 SEP 97 from an overseas customer), and printouts from email inquiries which were apparently not answered. I will be going through this and trying to see that these orders are all filled right away. If people have questions or concerns, they should be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and they will be answered. Tim, your comments are inappropriate. Let me assure you that there is no fraud at all here. The number of website hits that www.debian.org generates is pathetically small. In other words, I am investing in the future by offering this product line. I had tried to unload some of the work in order to have more time for software development but it looks like I will have to get personally involved in the production and fulfillment again.

misc X problems
I have just gotten the SVGA X server working on my machine, and I have a couple of problems with it. One is that the desktop is much bigger than the screen area, and the screen moves around when the mnouse approaches the edges. Does this have to do with switching around hte resolutions in the XF86Config file? The other is that the screen only draws every other column. Thus all the text in the terminal windows is pretty much illegible, plus no colors look good only being drawn halfway. This I have no idea about, but it seems like it could possibly be related to the above problem. Do any of you have ideas? Thanks.

xdm -- Starting Multiple Servers
I don't know if anyone else who uses xdm to manage multiple Servers has run across the problem whereby starting all the servers simultaneously can cause all sorts of problems, e.g., some of the servers don't start because they are waiting to be told of an available screen. If you have solved the problem, I would be interested in your solution. My solution is to have xdm start the X servers one at a time by using the SIGHUP signal. They way I do it is to copy over /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers so that only one server is listed. Then I start xdm with the start-stop-daemon. Of course, xdm has no problem starting one server, and in about 10 seconds, the X server is up and running with xdm ready for more. So, I oblige by copying over the etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file again, but this time I add a second server to the list. Then I send xdm the SIGHUP signal via kill -SIGHUP `cat /var/run/xdm-pid`. This tells xdm to re-read its configuration files. It does so, and finds that it is now responsible for starting exactly one more server. Of course, xdm has no problem starting one server, and all is well. I just repeat the process until all the servers are up and running.

Choosing network and graphic card for Linux.
Hello! I'm changing my ISP , and the new one works with direct connection through a ethernet 10 base t card (and doesn't charge more for static IP). I don't know which one to choose. Can you help? I have never installed ethernet before so some referencing to how it works and general info would be great. BTW: My other option was to connect through an ISDN modem.

Re: activate VFS for kernel with module support - how ?
Hi! VFS stands for Virtual File-System which is the way the Linux kernel handles ext2: updating the changes in memory, and then periodiodically to disk (syncing). As far as I know, it is included in kernel, but not optable. I think your problem is that you haven't specified where should the kernel mount the root directory i.e., /dev/hda1, or wherever. If you use loadlin you must say: loadlin zImage root=/dev/hd(wherever) ro If you use lilo, you must re-install lilo after installing the new kernel. See lilo and lilo.conf documentation. You could try 'make install' from the linux source directory, it will make the dirty work for you ;-) (including lilo re-install) Perhaps you have unselected the 'ext2' option, in filesystems. Select it, and recompile. Well, hope it helps! Good Luck, and Happy New Year! On Wed, 31 Dec 1997, Marc Fleureck wrote: Hi, I compiled a new kernel with module-support.

Re: activate VFS for kernel with module support - how ? (fwd)
Hi again! If you have Debian 1.3.1 CD you will see in /boot several files; the rescue image is just the linux kernel + root.bin image, which serves for rescueing and installation. The message you wrote before: VFS: kernel panic, unable to mount fs, also appear when you try to boot directly from Debian CD, by typing boot.bat. This is a bug (I think). If you want to load the instalation / rescue disk, you must type: loadlin linux initrd=root.bin (the boot.bat lacks 'initrd='), so the ramdisk cannot be mounted properly, hence the error message. (ah, initrd stands for Init RamDisk) Good Luck! Hope it helps!

In the 2.1.x kernels, the network code automagically adds standard routes

Re: activate VFS for kernel with module support - how ?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Marc Fleureck) writes: I compiled a new kernel with module-support. It tries to boot and sais: kernel panic VFS: unable to mount fs Seems logical. I didn't activate the VFS-module. lsmod doesn't give it in the list neither. I must load something.o with insmod. But where can I find that something ? Should it be done manually once or do I have to put it in some config file ? (/etc/conf.modules ? what does it do ?) VFS is the virtual filesystem. It is a layer below say ext2 of vfat. You don't have to activate it, it is a part of the kernel. I assume you have your root filesystem as ext2. You can't have ext2 as a module then. Check this.

You have to mount the ms-dos partition; hopefully your kernel has been
configured to do that.
Try 'mount -t msdos /dev/hd{x} /mnt', where hd{x} is /hda1, etc (depending
on the drive number and partition number. If you have one hard drive and
the first partition is dos, it would be /dev/hda1.
Then you should be able to see the partition from Linux. Try 'ls -al

Linux directories (with cp) and unzip it with the unzip command.

I take it I should use the regular settings in the .ini file, and not the ones that it uses when its emmulating a soundblaster? Thanks alot! Timothy. There should be some sort of DOS based initialization program for your SoundScape (mine was called ssinit.exe and is located in my \sndscape directory). By running this program by itself it will allow you to configure the card for use with DOS, and allow the settings on the card to be changed. I would think even PnP cards stay pretty constant, but if you do not wish to switch the card out of PnP mode (if your particular soundcard is PnP) and manually configure its settings, you should look into using the ISAPNP tools for Linux. When looking for the current settings in the .ini file, only trust the sndscape.ini file that is in your WINDOWS directory (if you run the beast), the one that you may find in your \sndscape directory (or whatever directory houses the Sound Scape program files) is usually only used during DOS sessions or first installation as a default template (if at all). Yes, always use the regular settings. Do no compile your kernel with support for anything else but the SoundScape (support for /dev/dsp and /dev/audio is ok to include as well as General Midi support, and the subsidiary drivers). The only problem I ever had using my SoundScape turned out to be that I was attempting to have Linux use the settings for it's SB compatible mode and the driver did not like this, but after turning off the SB emulation, everything was beautiful. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Drop-down menus are shown as well, but nothing else can be done on them... I'm using FVWM-2 and XFree 3.3.1. RealPlayer seems to be the only app I have come across that shows this behaviour...
